A Brave Conversation: Leveraging COVID to Transition to Circular Plastics

The pandemic has revealed key weaknesses and strengths of our plastics system. As we turn towards making a green recovery, the time to take meaningful action is now. How can—and should—the transition to a sustainable circular plastics economy be used as a strategy for economic recovery and what is required to achieve this?
